Heng Ban, PhD
Professor Ban's research covers topics in thermal-fluid sciences, materials properties, sensors and measurement, and energy sciences. His recent focus has been to understand the relationship between material microstructural change and its thermal performance, particularly experimental and computational material thermophysical properties and measurement technique development. The research has applications in nuclear fuels and materials, manufacturing, micro-scale measurements, and development of hot-cell and/or in-pile sensors and instrumentations.
With $63.5 million in annual research expenditures and expertise spanning energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and sustainability, the Swanson School works with industry, government, and academic partners to solve problems that matter. Whether you are exploring a sponsored research project, a joint faculty appointment, or access to our labs and facilities, we can help you find the right entry point.
